Covers POI's :-
Triveni Ghat – Located in the spiritual hub of Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, Triveni Ghat is a revered bathing ghat where the holy rivers Ganges, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati are believed to converge, forming a sacred sangam (confluence). This expansive ghat, with its wide stone steps descending into the flowing Ganges, is a place of purification where devotees take ritual dips to wash away sins and seek blessings. Every evening, the ghat comes alive with the Ganga Aarti, a mesmerizing ceremony where priests offer prayers with flaming lamps, accompanied by devotional chants that echo across the water. The serene yet vibrant atmosphere, framed by the river’s gentle currents and distant Himalayan foothills, makes Triveni Ghat a cornerstone of Rishikesh’s spiritual identity, drawing pilgrims and travelers seeking peace and divine connection.
Ram Jhula & Laxman Jhula – Spanning the Ganges in Rishikesh, Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula are iconic suspension bridges that blend utility with legend. Laxman Jhula, the older of the two, stretches 450 feet and is named after Lord Rama’s brother Laxman, who, according to mythology, crossed the river here on a jute rope. Ram Jhula, located a few kilometers downstream, is slightly longer at 750 feet and connects the Sivananda Ashram area with Swarg Ashram. Both bridges sway gently underfoot, offering breathtaking views of the emerald-green Ganges, bustling ghats, and surrounding hills dotted with temples and ashrams. Painted in vibrant hues, they’re pedestrian-only crossings alive with the footsteps of pilgrims, sadhus, and tourists, as well as the occasional monkey or cow. These bridges are not just pathways but symbols of Rishikesh’s spiritual and cultural heritage.
Parmarth Niketan Ashram – Nestled along the banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh, Parmarth Niketan is one of India’s largest and most renowned ashrams, celebrated for its focus on yoga, meditation, and Vedantic teachings. Founded in 1942 by Swami Shukdevanandji Maharaj, this sprawling retreat welcomes spiritual seekers from around the world with its tranquil gardens, traditional architecture, and a palpable sense of serenity. The ashram offers daily yoga classes, meditation sessions, and discourses on Indian philosophy, often led by revered gurus. Its evening Ganga Aarti, performed at the private ghat, is a highlight—hundreds gather to witness the rhythmic chants and glowing lamps floating on the river. With residential programs, Ayurvedic treatments, and a commitment to environmental causes, Parmarth Niketan is a sanctuary for those seeking inner peace and holistic wellness.
Har Ki Pauri (Haridwar) – Located 20 kilometers south of Rishikesh in Haridwar, Har Ki Pauri is one of the most sacred ghats along the Ganges, believed to be the spot where Lord Vishnu left his footprint. Translating to “Steps of the Lord,” this bustling ghat is the heart of Haridwar’s spiritual life, drawing millions during the Kumbh Mela every 12 years. The evening Ganga Aarti here is a divine spectacle—priests in saffron robes wield massive flaming lamps, their synchronized movements mirrored by the river’s flow, while devotees release flower-laden diyas into the water. The air fills with the scent of incense and the sound of conch shells, creating an otherworldly ambiance. Flanked by temples and markets, Har Ki Pauri offers a profound experience of faith and tradition, making it an essential stop in the region.
